Balearic Parliament protects the right to celebrate Eid: No general ban on the Feast of Sacrifice

Answer

Are there enough facilities in Mallorca for traditional religious slaughter?

Mobile units, licensed slaughterhouses and temporary supervised sites are possible solutions, but they need organisation and resources.
